Mark I’d like to strongly express my opinion that Universes Beyond cards should not be included in non-UB sets. I was really hoping that the inclusion of Transformers cards in The Brothers War boosters would be a one time thing. It depresses me to learn that Lost Caverns of Ixalan will contain Jurassic World cards. Indeed, I will admit that I am not a fan of MTG IP crossovers (if you couldn’t tell) however I am able to “look away” as long as the crossover cards are restricted to UB products. However, I am quite literally forced to interact with UB if I open an Optimus Prime card in my Brother’s War booster. I sincerely hope that WOTC takes this feedback to heart… thanks Mark

Do others feel similarly?
If I wanted a UB product (I don’t), I’d have bought a UB product.
I’d like the smug neckbeards making “yOu CaN jUsT tRaDe ThEm” comments to tell us exactly who is trading with them for these non-competitive bulk rare Transformer cards. The three or four people I know who actually wanted them bought them cheap as dirt online, and nobody else cares about them.
And that’s not just a problem with these cards, tbh. I can count on one hand the number of trades I have made in the past 5 years, and the majority of them were trading a bunch of one kind of full-art land for another. When people want specific singles, they’re way more likely to buy them than to trade for them.
